Further objects of the invention are to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a cover for a garment hanger which is simple 'in its construction and arrangement, strong,

durable, compact, thoroughly efficient in its use, conveniently installed into position bethe cover. I

A garment hanger cover, in accordance" tween the garment and the hanger, and comparativelyinexpensive to manufacture. v

\Vith the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically 'de scribed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, Variations and modifications can be resorted to which fall within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings, wherein like reference with this invention includes a flexible body formed of a pair of body sections and a pair of bias pipings which are secured between and project from the top and ends of the 12 of the hanger13.

After the bias strips have been securedin 1929. "seal to. 3 9,726.-

body sections whereby the top and endsof the flexible body will be formed'of bias pipings. formed of a'nap fabric, such as'velveti As the pipings are set up from bias material the different runs of the napthereof act to'prevent the garment from slipping off. Tlie'nap The body sections and pipings are c on the body sections alsoact'to prevent slippingof the garment. Each bias piping is of a length-less than the len' th of. 'the conn binedend and'top' edgesof a body section. Each bias section extends from thebottom of one end edge of a body section to'a' "point between the vertical median and other end edge of 'such section, The bias piping sec-' tions extend in opposite directions'with re spect to each other. 1

One of the body sections is indicated at 1.

I and the other at2=and each has its lower marginal portion int-urned' to provide "a fold 3 securedby a row of stitching 4.

One of'the bias pipings is generally indicated at band the other at 6. The'bias strips which provide the pipings are folded upon themselves, the'folded strips are positioned between'and opp'ose the inner faces of body v section'sl, 2. The faceTed'ges of thefolds of the bias (strips are flush rwith the top, and endedges of the Qbody sections: Thebias strips and body sections are secured together by a row of stitching 9, in proximity to the edges referred to. The stitching 9 is severed for a portion of its length between the pipings 5, 6 at the portions 7, 8 respectively of these latter to provide an opening 10 to form a passage for the shank 11 of the hook the manner as stated to provide the. bias pipings the body sections are turned right side out and the cover will be as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3. j

Secured to the inner faces of the body sections 1, 2 near the bottom edges of these latter are snap fasteners 14, 15 for connecting the lower portions of the body sections 1, 2 together for the purpose of maintaining the hanger 13 within the cover. Each snap fastener is formed of two sections of known type.

Extending from the sections of eachsnap fastener is a strap 16 having one end connected to one section of the fastener and its other end connected to the other section of the fastener I and said strap 16 provides a loop or support. The straps 16 are employed for the purpose of hanging a ladys skirt or a pair of trousers from the cover. I

It is thought that manyadvantages of a garment hanger in accordance with this invention can be readily understood, and although v the preferrediembodimentof the invention is as illustrated and described, yet it is to'be understood that changes in'the'details" of construction can be had which fall within the scope of the invention as claimed;

WVhat I claim is: r

1. A garment hanger cover comprising an open bottom body portion, b'iaspipings. ex tending.v throughout and laterally from the end and top edgesrof said body portion; said pipings having spaced parts to providean opening for the passagevofthe shank ofthehook of the hanger, meanscarried by the 'bottom of the body portion for detachably securing the body of the hanger therein said body portion and pipings formed of'fabric of the nap type, and spaced" straps dependingfrom said means.
